For the last few days we have been unable to create custom new/edit forms for External Lists in Sharepoint Designer. When i try to create a form Sharepoint Designer show the message 'Could not save the list changes to the server'. The corresponding
message in the ULS log file is 'Failed to find the default form for PAGETYPE PAGE_NEWFORM'. Does this mean i have somehow managed to break the form templates for External Lists?

I saw some other posts about the 'Could not save the list changes to the server' error and followed the suggested steps including removing all versions of the list and related content type, and recreatign htem but this didn't work.

In this article, the author shows you three new arrivals on the SQL Server spatial visualization scene: the map control in SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services (SSRS), the ESRI MapIt product, and the MapPoint Add-In for SQL Server 2008.

I'm trying to create audience rule : all members of AD group. But when I try to choose a security group I need I can't find in search window. Though I see another groups. So in a whole the problem is I can't see all the AD groups but only some of them. It
doesn't depends on on its type (global or local domain).

In one specific SharePoint calendar, on one specific week in that calendar when we select the "more items" link in the monthly view (or the expand all option) we get the following error:
The "ListViewWebPart" Web Part appears to be causing a problem. Index was outside the bounds of the array.

Web Parts Maintenance Page: If you have permission, you can use this page to temporarily close Web Parts or remove personal settings. For more information, contact your site administrator.

If we select a different week the expand and collapse works fine in that calendar.

While SQL Server is a good repository for geospatial data, it doesn't communicate with MapPoint as well as it could. So our geo-data experts show you how to read point and polygon objects from SQL Server and render them in MapPoint and how to write points and polygons back to SQL Server using Entity Framework 4.0 included with Visual Studio 2010.Eric Frost, Richard MarsdenMSDN Magazine September 2010

In terms of high-level requirements, I need to pull in lists from a couple of different web apps. To do this, I’m using SPD 2010 to create an External Content Type for the list of interest. I’m able to create a SOAP Service or WCF Service connection just fine. However, when I try to create the external content type and create a Read Item Operation on one of the GetList or any other Get* (or other Update methods for that matter) methods, I get the following error:"The method that your operation is based on has parameters with complex types that do not have default parameterless constructor. This kind of data source methods cannot be used in Business Data Catalog."I tried defining an operation on the “AddAttachment” method, and that worked just fine. I also tried providing default values to the listName and viewName parameters when creating the SOAP Service connection, but still get the error. Same issue with a WCF Service connection as well. Does anyone know if this is a 2010 issue, or am I approaching this requirement incorrectly? What are other approaches for connecting to lists that reside in a different web app than yours?

Guys,
Current Environment :
1 Sql server 2008 R2 and 1 SharePoint 2010 Server
OS : windows server 2008
all 64 bit (goes without saynig)
For better performance i want to seperate out Service application ( expecially Search Service application) to another windows server while keeping the existing one as a WFE hosting CA as well. From the little documentation i found i am creating an Index server(with
out CA on it)
2 questions here :
1. Is this the best way to optimize my farm?
2. Is there any online documentation or any knd of link that woudl describe how to set up the index server.
thanks in advance.

Sesame Data Browser has just been updated to offer the following features for OData feeds:
MapsImproved Service operations (FunctionImport) supportHTTP Basic Authentication supportMicrosoft Dallas support
Maps
Sesame now automatically displays items on a map if spatial information is available in data.This works when latitude and longitude pairs are provided.Here is for example a map of drinking fountains in Vancouver:This comes from DrinkingFountains in http://vancouverdataservice.cloudapp.net/v1/vancouver, which provides latitude/longitude for each fountain.
Here is another example, without latitude/longitude this time: This is a map of the customers from the Northwind database, which are located based on their country, postal code, city, and street address.
Service operations (FunctionImport)
Support for service operations (aka FunctionImports) has been improved. Until now, only functions without parameters were supported.
It's now possible to use service operations that take input parameters. Let's take as an example the GetProductsByRating function from http://services.odata.org/OData/OData.svc.This function is attached to Products, as you can see below: A "rating" parameter is expected in order to open the function: After clicking Open, you'll get data as usual:HTTP Basic Authentication
New authentication options have been added: HTTP Basic and Dallas (more
